Dolphin Boy

Morad is an Arab-Israeli teenager from the north of Israel. After a
violent attack, Morad is emotionally and spiritually scarred and
disconnects himself from people.

Faced with the prospect of institutional care, Morad’s father
as a last resort decides to take Morad for a revolutionary form
of treatment. The devoted father takes him to a dolphin facility at the seaside town of Eilat.

As the dolphins start to interact with Morad, he starts speaking again after months of silence. However, the recovery is marred by one sideeffect: he has erased his past and refuses to go home to his awaiting mother.

Filmed over the course of 4 years, this film deals with the devastating havoc that human violence can wreak upon the human soul, and about the healing powers of nature and of love.
